Stolen Chair presents the second installment of its CineTheatre Tetralogy, a timely absurdist film noir for the stage as Ionesco might have imagined it, creating comic chaos out of the possibility that American life might actually be pointless.

A leggy redhead is shot dead in the middle of her nightclub act and Ben Farrell, American private detective, is on the case. The list of suspects grows to include a fatalistic femme fatale, an avaricious publisher, and a millionaire playboy who pens a serialized crime novel called…Kill Me Like You Mean It. Turns out that art imitates life and Ben Farrell finds his own life in the pages of the playboy’s pulp fiction while the redhead’s simple murder mystery quickly degenerates into a sick game for which Farrell never learned the rules.

Stolen Chair would like to bring this "utterly tremendous" (TimeOut NY's Trav SD) "bona fide tour de force of theatre" (NYtheatre.com's Martin Denton) back to NYC stages this summer and we're asking for your help.

Please post a comment here if you would like to see this live silent film for the stage return for another New York run. You can post a simple "Yes, please" or wax on and on about how the show has changed your life. If you missed the short workshop run last year, feel free to post if you are eager to see the show for the first time.

Trav SD

If you haven't visited Stolen Chair's blog lately (and why haven't you?!), you might have missed Trav SD and Ian W. Hill's brilliant musings, parts 1 and 2 of a 7-part interview series, exclusively at stolenchair.blogspot.com.

It's not too late. Visit the blog, soak up the wisdom of Messers Hill and SD, and post your own comments if you feel like sounding off.
